Description
The Corpse Reviver is a family of cocktails traditionally consumed as a remedy for a hangover. The most famous version is the No. 2, but the original Version No. 1 is an equally fascinating drink. It is significantly more spirit-forward, combining the rich notes of Cognac and Calvados (apple brandy) with the sweetness of Italian vermouth. It is a strong, warming, and complex cocktail, perfect for lovers of stirred drinks.
Preparation
- Pre-chill a coupe glass with ice.
- Add all ingredients to a mixing glass filled with ice cubes.
- Stir until well-chilled and frosted on the outside.
- Strain the contents into the chilled glass.
- Express a lemon peel over the drink and add it as a garnish.
